Never happy
When I was a teenager I wondered if I would ever be happy. Over 10 years later Iโm still wondering that.. at what point do you just give up on everything ?

I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling with feeling unhappy for so long. Since it's been a while, I get how you would be feeling discouraged. It can be hard to keep hope and keep going when things seem tough. Sending positive thoughts! ๐
Never. The answer is you never give up on trying to feel better. Maybe you have high expectations ๐ค Try asking yourself what you're grateful for. I find happiness in just waking up and being alive, but I understand it's hard to everyday. I have days where I feel dull and unmotivated too where depression wins. It doesn't always win though. Sometimes I do ๐ You can too.
hi, i understand. i agree with the prior poster. i am also thankful for the little things and what i have. i try to hink of people who are not as lucky or have even less. it really does help to think this way. also the worls is such a scare place and dangerous. i have been through so much already. i try not to be too hard on myself but this doesn't mean i should give up. i try to live in the moment. it's not always possible, but i also think it helps to listen to yourself, what you really want. in the end we are the only ones who can really do anything for ourselves, everything else is also coincidence or luck. but you still have control over some things. i try to focus on the things that are important to me and that matter. i don't work in an office, i am at home so i feel lucky. no i don't earn a lot of money, but that's not what really matters to me. i can guarantee that if you spend time with yourself you will at some point find out what you want. it does not have to be what other people want for you. sometimes we also won't be able to get what we want out of life, and that's ok. i guess there is a reason for it. i always feel like other people are better off than me or seem happier. i do not know if that is really the case. in the end we choose to be happy...

Happiness is undefined in most situations....
No one i have ever met is happy all the time ...... what were your expectations on happy.
in work every job has items people wish they did not have to do.....
every relationship has highs and lows......friendships too
take the little things to enjoy ....... getting seated at a restaurant in 5 minutes instead of the 30 they said.... ........... finding a great parking spot....something you need to buy is on sale ..... watching puppies or kittens ......... laughing at both the meant to be funny and funny just because moments....
oh, p.s. sorry for the typos, I hate making spelling mistakes
p.s. it's totally ok to feel sad, you don't have to be happy all the time
I too would say that you never give up. Redefining happiness helps. How do you currently define it?@Feralsteph
